Book sale reminder

Display caseThe Friends Fall book sale is coming up this weekend, November 4-6. Friends volunteers Virginia Green, Molly Burns, and Laura Baker decorated the library’s lobby display case with books and memorabilia to help publicize the sale.

The picture shown here doesn’t do justice to their charming display. Among many other items it includes two one-million dollar bills, a miniature book titled “The Library Cat,” and a bookmark with the quote “Life is too serious to be taken seriously.” Be sure to check it out when you come to the sale.

Friday, November 4, 3-6 pm
